The battery is drained after 7 hours of sitting. When you open the drivers side door you hear a ding ding ding noise like something was left on. But I know for a fact nothing was. I have to message lights on one reads service engine soon and the other is the parking brake is on which it is not. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but thought it might help

Re: The battery is drained after 7 hours of sitting. ...

Scan it for the codes set when the service light came on. Don't clear or disconnect the battery until you get the codes.
Start by pulling all fuses and putting back one at a time,until you find the circuit that is not timing out or going to sleep.
The best way to do that,is to put an Ampere Meter in series with either battery cable and watch your Milli Amp readings drop as things time out.

try this...put key in drivers door and turn to lock car,hold over for 30 seconds then release to neutral position.then press and hold remote unlock button down for 30 seconds.then lock with remote as usual.

the dinging noise normally indicates that an interior light is on or that you have left the indicators/turn swich to on.when you do, either left or right side parking lights come on (wiring on car is universally used)

One thing to check would be the wires in the loom in your door jamb by hinges on drivers side. It's not uncommon for those wires in there to wear, or break from door opening and closing, and causing weakness. Drivers door is usually first to go, as it is usually opened and closed the most. Look for corrosion, break, cracks, thin areas in wires.

Sit in the driver's seat
Close all vehicle doors; ignition key should NOT be in the ignition, and ignition should be OFF.
Press and hold UNLOCK on your driver's door lock switch, insert and remove your ignition key TWICE, and insert the key in the ignition; this time LEAVE IT. DO NOT TURN THE KEY!!
LET GO OF THE DOOR SWITCH; listen for 3 dings after which, with the key still in the ignition, you will press and hold both LOCK and UNLOCK AT THE SAME TIME on your transmitter for 12 seconds. or until you hear 2 DINGS which indicate a newly programmed transmitter.

If you wish to use more the one transmitter (4 MAX), press and hold lock and unlock just as the first transmitter.
